I don't know if there is a cheaper material they could have used for this. The threaded studs pretty much snap in two with little on no force. I' bought this a few years back and just took it out of the shed to hang some tiles and the threaded bosses just snapped off when trying to assemble the pole! Read more

I have no issues with taking the pole apart. It works great and I highly recommend this product. Read more

After returning the first one that had crooked inserts in one of the poles. The second one had two crooked inserts but a bit less crooked. I am going to live with it because my laser auto levels anyway. Aluminum joints are always going to have some sticking, so I will put some anti-seize on the threads. I might even try to press one of the crooked inserts in properly, maybe with heat applied to soften any adhesive that might be there. I like how the pole goes down into the tripod unlike other brands. It allows lower positions of the laser and was part of my decision to live with slightly crooked pole sections. I have used this same model my son had and really like the versatility. We even used it horizontal in a stair well. The foot-set tension is nice. Bag is a bit flimsy but spacious and organized. The poles are numbered if you need the tick marks aligned and it might prevent sticking if they are always put together in order. Read more
